I'm mighty glad the parson hain't got any foolish dreams 'bout the gal. The leftenant is the only galoot I've got to look out for, or rather," added the miner grimly, "I'm the one he's got to beware of. I'm in dead earnest this time." That which in the nature of things was inevitable came to pass.
"We could never do that." "We could," said the other. "Captain Brown couldn't, nor Mr. Hay that shipped mate with him couldn't. But what's that to do with Captain Davis or Mr. Herrick, you galoot?" "But Hayes had these wild islands where he used to call," came the next fainter objection. "We have the wild islands of Peru," retorted Davis.
Presently he came back to the stove and stood staring disgustedly down upon the effusively friendly Bill, leering up at him pacifically. "If I didn't feel so rotten," he said glumly, "I'd give you another licking right now, Bill you boozing old devil. I'd like to lick every darned galoot that stood back and let me in for this. You'd ought to have stopped me.
"Thar's a lot in that notion," Rube acknowledged; "but it's just a bit too cute fer a man like Nick. The galoot that would scatter his footprints around an' leave his pipe in the canoe ain't clever enough ter lay a false trail. Seems to me it's more likely Nick didn't see the tobacco. He was hustlin' to get away with the loot." "Everything else clear?" Kiddie asked. "Yes," answered Rube.
That nanny-whiskered old galoot was sunk in too many fathoms of water ever to wade ashore. Mr. J. Cuthbert Nickleby, the then genial secretary, had seen to that once for all; in fact, it had been a charred fragment of the document which Mr. Hugh Podmore had used as a card of introduction when he had had his first long and very interesting session with Friend Nickleby.
"You see," answered Jim gloomily, "thar ain't a galoot in this yer crowd ez knows jist WHAT'S in that hoss! And them ez suspecks daren't say! It wouldn't do for to hev it let out that the Judge hez a Morgan-Mexican plug that's killed two men afore he got him, and is bound to kill another afore he gets through! Why, on'y the week afore we kem up to you, that thar hoss bolted with me at camping!
Soon she must die, boy must die. What she do? She put round boy her cloak, an' leave him by rock, an' hurry to tell. Maybe coyote get him. What can do?" "What can we do?" echoed Lynn Taps; "turn out every galoot in camp, and foller her tracks till we find it. Souls or no souls, don't make no diff'rence. I'll tramp my legs off, 'fore that child shall be left out in the snow in them mountains."
Good enough for him! I wish it had been Holy John!" He fell to work again with more vigor than ever, but presently he stopped and growled: "I 'd like to run a blaze on that ornery galoot that he 'd remember all the rest of his life!" After a while I chanced to see Kid carrying a bundle done up in a gunny sack down to the acequia and hide it among the currant bushes.
And he hit the bull's eye ten times straight running. 'Hey! gasped the sergeant, 'you long, lanky galoot! You said you couldn't shoot. Abe sort of laughed. 'Reckon I was thinkin' about what Dad called shootin'.... Well, Abe and his brothers got to France to the front. Abe was a sharpshooter. He was killed at Argonne. Both his brothers were wounded.
I asked him what else I could do, since the books were to be examined once a month. "Why, you galoot, you get a clerk!" cries he. "One of our dead beats that's all they're here for. If you're a successful operator, you need never do a stroke of work in this old college."
